Engro Intern Systems

The project started out with the need of automating a major task in the hands of HR department i.e the management of interns itself.

Traditional Workflow

Intern records were maintained in excel spreadsheets
Induction forms, certificates and other documents were generated manually and then printed

Need For Automation

For a company dealing with large scale processes day in day out, the HR has a lot to serve. Handling repeated tasks was affecting the department’s ability to perform fully in more creative avenues.

Branding

Sitting down with the HR manager and discussing problems of the department and hours of brainstorming opened up new possibilities and it was discovered that not just intern management but a lot of other processes could be automated. This was the actual inception of Engro Systems with ‘Engro Systems Interns’ being the flagship product and further recruitment of interns for more automation projects under the umbrella of Engro Systems.

Product Development

Moving the intern records out from the spreadsheets and into a relational database made it possible to add further features. Main features of the application include following

Listing, searching and filtering of interns based on various criteria
Various user access levels depending on employee’s responsibilities
Various levels of email and SMS based notifications based on schedules
Auto generation of documents as per schedules

House of Habib Leave Management Portal

About House of Habib

House of Habib is a Pakistani conglomerate company based in Karachi, Pakistan. The company was started in 19th century and owns a lot of other businesses in Pakistan and internationally including Indus Motors Company, Habib Insurance Company Limited, Inclusive Energy Limited, etc.

Traditional workflow

Employees of the House of Habib have designated leaves that can be availed and can also be encashed, according to the company’s policy.

Leave or encashment applied on a paper form
Application is responded by respective boss/supervisor, HR, and in case of encashment also by finance department
Remaining leaves calculation and bookkeeping, if approved, is done by HR and maintained for every employee

Need for automation

In the house of Habib, these processes were manually handled, and applications were submitted on a piece of paper sent to the upper hierarchy for a response. This long and time-consuming process made it difficult for employees to apply for leaves or encashment, track their remaining leaves, check encashable leave balance, etc.

Possible solutions

House of Habib would have solved this problem by creating a helpline and hiring an individual whose work would only be to take requests for leaves application or leaves encashment by employees on a phone call and perform necessary bookkeeping, also provide required information to employees regarding their leave profiles, asks for approvals from upper hierarchy, etc. This solution involved investment to hire the resource yet the position doesn’t give any ROI.

After series of discussions with HR, Quanrio proposed a customized solution of an automated Leave Management Portal incorporating the company’s policies for employees leave application and leave encashment.

Product development

Reducing manual work and time taking internal processes, the left portal made leaves application convenient for the busy HR and employees. The main features of the portal include

Apply for leaves and/or encashment
Track leave application status
Check leaves’ balance that could be encashed
Respond to requests received by subordinates for approval
Receive email reminders of requests waiting for response
Maintain application history, and also can export to a spreadsheet
Bulk upload of employees list and their application history
Generation of documents according to request and its response

This portal made leave management remotely available to every employee and helped keep track of leaves related information. Whenever an employee applies for leave or encashment, the request goes directly to the supervisor for a response (approval/disapproval) and then to the upper hierarchy providing a response right away. The employee is notified about the final decision on the application by an email notification system incorporated in the portal.

“Quanrio provided the solution to our problem of managing Employees’ leaves application and leaves encashment processes. They crafted a leave management portal that takes care of all the tasks associated with employees’ leave applications, requests, approvals, encashment, etc. Every employee can apply for leaves from anywhere, every boss/supervisor can respond to leave request from anywhere, all the documents are auto generated, every employee can see his/her remaining medical/general leaves and also the amount he/she could receive on encashing current available leaves, etc. Design and feel of the application is accordingly easy to use, and delicate. They have done superb work.”

About Pakistan Navy

The Pakistan Navy needs no introduction, it is the naval warfare uniform service branch of the Pakistan Armed Forces.

Tradition workflow

Pakistan Navy personnel always witness blood donors and acceptors on regular basis due to the nature of their business. Usual flow of blood donors and acceptors is as follows,

Donor contacts the designated hospital and wait for an acceptor to ask the hospital for blood
If the hospital is short of a particular blood type, the flow messages in the community to search for a donor with the required blood type
Blood acceptors go to the hospital and see if a particular blood type is available

Need For Automation

Due to the nature of business, navy personnel can not reach hospital to search for donors or acceptors. They need a system through which they can easily either notify for the availability of their blood to be donation and the acceptors need a platform through which they can search for donor of a particular blood type from anywhere.

Reducing the time in connecting blood donors and acceptors, Quanrio built a cloud solution where donors can register by providing relevant information and wait for an acceptor to reach out to them

Register on the portal providing required information about themselves and their blood
Acceptors can search for donors according to the required blood type
The portal is integrated with the internal system of Pakistan Navy in order for acceptors to view the medical history of a donor
Acceptors can search for donors according to the required blood type
Acceptors can directly contact the donors and complete the donation process
Generate a waiting list for the requirement of blood type

This portal made blood donation management remotely available to every navy personnel, and helped keep track of medical history of a donor.

“Quanrio provided the solution to our problem of remote access to a blood donation management system. The synergy between the team has been tremendous. Quanrio has been patient and understanding in requirements gathering during the development of the system. Would highly recommend their services.”
